I echo this as well. I can't imagine a dealer willing to do that for msrp as by now they know they have something that is heavily sought after. So the question begs as to WHY would a dealer do that for MSRP????? Also I have the question of would FORD allow that to happen???? I know dealers have sold their allocations to other Ford dealers but that is NOT the question. Would Ford ALLOW dealers to swap their allocations knowing that one has the 2 options OP is looking for and the other does NOT. And then like you guys said what do you do when somebody else gets involved with more money and steals the deal from you???? Call the dealer back and tell him you want that allocation back now. HA--GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!!!!!!!
Golden ticket, don't get me started.
I understand the allocation doesn’t belong to you,
I realize I didn’t explain this well as I was trying to keep it short as possible on the original post, I’ll try again. I know the allocation belongs to the dealer not the individual. Somewhere I’m sure a person has 1st spot to use the dealers allocation to purchase a 2020 GT500 and has had this agreement with dealer months ago. Let’s say said dealer has the ability, the “Golden Ticket Allocation”, to order the CFTP, but now that pricing has come out the individual who had 1st option to order says “I can’t afford a $100k car” and only can order the base unit at said dealer with Golden Ticket Allocation. Now “me” I can afford a $100k car but my dealer, where I have 1st use of their allocation, has no Golden Ticket. What I was asking if person that could only afford Base unit would exchange dealer information and with dealer permission of course, allow me to use his dealer with the “Golden Ticket Allocation” where he had 1st right to order but can’t afford the CFTP, but I can. He could use my dealer to order his base, witch is only what my dealer can order because no “ Golden Ticket”. I am only mentioning MSRP as that’s what my agreement is and would only exchange dealer info with said person at said dealer with Golden Ticket have a MSRP deal in place also.
Understood. The issue is, the dealers have not officially been awarded a definitive allocation of Base or CFTP units...yet. So even if you are #1 in line at your dealer and ordered a CFTP unit, there is no guarantee that dealer will be awarded that vehicle spec at the moment. Make sense?
Yes they have. Dealers know what they have. They were told just before the order banks opened. The allocations are in the computer and anyone who ordered a CFTP and it was accepted by the ordering system will get one, unless there was some kind of mistake. People have alreday reported that the computer wouldn't accept thier order for either painted stripes or a CFTP. That's because they didn't have the allocation.
When people who "ordered" the CFTP are told they have to change to a base or wait because the dealer was not awarded that spec...disappointment will ensue.
I think I see what you are saying...... I assume when you say "ordered" you are speaking of informing the dealership of what car you would like. When I speak of "order", I speak of physically putting the order into the computer to place the order.
Thats the exact boat I find myself in. Wanting to spend $10 Grand and hoping it still happens but starting to lose hope in some ways. Too much money chasing too little product.
